This book comes from the 2008 Summer Retreat held in Joshua Tree, and includes the 3 days of talks given by Mark Griffin there, as well as three talks in the following weekly meetings that dealt with the aftermath and continuing effects of the Summer Retreat. It also includes the following Intensive given by Mark in July, when he continued the theme of coming into one's own power: "What Is Here Is Everywhere".

The principle themes of this book deal not only with what is Spiritual Power, but also what it means to one's own sadhana - their spiritual evolution - to attain power, and be granted access to pure power.

• How do we come into our own power?
  
• What are the psychological issues we must face to do this?
  
• What is the importance of addressing the dark side of our psyche, and what stands in the way of our ability to do so?
  
• What is it like to meditate in the heart of one of the earth's power vortices?
  

As Mark Griffin says:

"Power is possibility.  All possibilities are related to the presence or absence of power.  There’s different kinds of power.  There is the power of the City, which is social power, higher and lower classes, economic power, having a lot or having a little.  That’s one kind of power.  There’s also a kind of power that is just sheer force.  Sometimes it’s quiescent, sometimes it’s wrathful and swift. 
We will be studying the unseen power of spirit.  It is the true power.  It is awesome.  It is terrifying.  And it is exact.  When you get involved with power, everything that you bring to the situation is manifest.  You come to understand who and what you truly are.  This is why it’s a little bit dangerous, and why you want to have as much training as possible when you come in to more and more access with power. There are deep challenges to attracting, gaining, storing and integrating power.  This is what spiritual training is about, and this is the basis of our work."
